half of women prefer to keep clothes on during sex

[Amby 490]

According to the findings, some 48 per cent of females prefer not to bare all in bed, wearing at least one garment.

The reason - for 54 per cent of them - is to improve body confidence. But not all men approve.

When asked whether they preferred a partner to retain an item of clothing, only 36 per cent of men said ''yes''.

And when it came to their garment of choice, negligees came out on top.

But the survey revealed most women would go for a bra.

The results showed 61 per cent of women claimed to prefer sex with the lights off, compared with just 37 per cent of men.

Andy Barr, marketing director at MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, said: ''This research has really unveiled how large a part clothes play when it comes to female body confidence.

''The fact that such a large proportion of women claim to feel sexier with an item kept on suggests that, whilst body confidence might be low, clothes can really improve a woman's self-image.''

A happy but partially clothed woman is a much better lay than an unhappy/insecure butt-nekkid woman.

How many of those women surveyed are overweight?

for a survey to be accurate they would have had to survey overweight women. there's skinny women who are just as self conscious as some overweight women. there's also some overweight women who as just as confident in their skin as a thin woman.

It depends on how much of a hurry I'm in. I don't even wonder if I'm having a good @ss day or a bad one, my attention is elsewhere.

Should be higher. Very few women look better with their clothes off. I suggest men marry one that looks best naked and with the lights on. Makes waking up a great thing. Hard to have a bad day after that.

I always prefer wearing high heels. Does that count?

When I was younger (early-mid 20s) I was very self conscious and would rarely get completely nude for sex. Once I hit 30 and was remarried to a man who made me feel more comfortable (sexually and otherwise) I had no problem getting nude or even leaving lights on. I guess it was a combo of the more encouraging partner and "maturity" making me have more confidence. Oh heck, now I walk around nude when children aren't present.

Not surprised at the survey with so much focus on female appearance nowadays.

I admit, I sometimes leave clothes on, but only because it sometimes fits with our "role".

Doesn't square with my personal experiences as I must have had sex only with self-confident women. The other possibility must be that I didn't have sex with enough women to conduct a proper survey.

Me too. It really depends on what we're doing.
